NikonNet Partners With XBurn to Provide Custom CD Archiving for Photos

Leading Online Photo Community Expands Service to Members with Storage Of Digital Photos and NikonNet Albums on CDs March 5 /PRNewswire/ -- In keeping with its promise to offer top-of-the-line, cutting-edge photography services to its members, NikonNet (www.nikonnet.com), the Web's leading photography community and free photo-sharing and education site, has announced a new partnership with XBurn (www.xburn.com) to produce and distribute custom CD archives to NikonNet's thousands of users. The partnership with XBurn, an industry leader in digital storage distribution, allows NikonNet to expand its scope of services and offer members permanent and convenient CD versions of their pictures and online photo albums. For members, this means they will now have easy access to their photos, which can now be kept in a flexible digital format ... instead of in a shoebox!

"We are extremely excited to see CD archiving become a reality," said Tracy Mack-Jackson, Manager of Internet Programs at Nikon Inc. "As the popularity of digital photography rises, so will the importance of being able to share photos and albums. The combination of maintaining NikonNet albums online and storing them on CDs will give members the freedom to bring their photographs anywhere and virtually eliminate the need to transport bulky, clumsy photo binders."

Less than one month after relaunching the site with a host of added features including a completely new photo editing studio, gift options and homepage, NikonNet has now added CD archiving to its growing list of incentives for its members. With the recent surge in the popularity of digital photography, NikonNet has found itself as the focus of a large and growing audience of users anxious to exercise their creativity through online photo services.

Members can now order a CD containing photographs and photo albums, saved exactly as they were created on NikonNet. The CD format maintains album names, captions and allows for fast playback of slideshows without lengthy downloads or even a connection to the Internet. Each CD from NikonNet comes in an attractive DVD-style case so photo CDs can be proudly displayed rather than kept in a drawer. With NikonNet and its new CD archiving, photos will never see the inside of a shoebox again.

"NikonNet photo albums are a lot of fun to view and share but they also hold people's memories," said William "Shawn" Yeager, CEO of XBurn. "Giving NikonNet users the option to have online albums burned to CDs and sent to them the next day to save and share makes the service all the more compelling."
